Sioux

Includes 15 audio CD discs ( = 12 hours) plus an 87-page textbook, and a 9-page final test workbook. The Lakota language today is spoken by thousands of Sioux people living primarily in South Dakota, west of the Missouri River. The term "Sioux" refers to people of similar ethnic backgrounds and includes Lakota speakers (the most numerous), Dakota and Nakota speakers. Developed at Oglala Lakota College, the emphasis is on sound and meaning. All recordings are by native speakers. Exercises for written practice are included, using the Roman alphabet, because Lakota was never written until recently. Learn the language of a Native American tribe with this Lakota language course and become proficient at the language spoken by thousands of Sioux people living primarily in South Dakota, west of the Missouri River.
